Xcellent Dinner Idea!

I may have to join Pinterest. I saw a great "pin" on my Facebook page that read: "Eat Right Rule: If your food can go bad, it's good for you! If it can't go bad, it's bad for you."

I thought of that when I went to Sprouts (one of my favorite stores) and bought some zucchini and yellow squash that were on sale for 99 cents/pound.

I had some top round steak that was thawed out & needed to be cooked, so I threw together this dinner!

Here it is:

Broiled top round steak (seasoned with Montreal steak seasoning & thyme - no sugar in it of course)

Cut up and sauteed zucchini & yellow squash

This was the 1st time I had ever sauteed zucchini & yellow squash. 1st I diced about 1 tablespoon of onion and sauteed it with extra virgin olive oil in the skillet.

Then I added the cut up zucchini & yellow squash, and cooked it covered over low heat for about 5 minutes. Oh yeah, for seasoning, a used a dash of season salt (no sugar in it of course), allspice, and basil.

After the squash was soft, I added a sliced tomato.

Let me tell you - it was very, very good!

Oh, and for "dessert" about an hour later: I ate some raisins!

As I've said in a previous post, one of the benefits by default to avoid sugar & high fructose corn syrup was that I eat healthier!

About Me

This blog is about how I went from “Sumo wrestler” weight to where I am today (as a Master’s track athlete), and how I’ve kept it off. Why do I call it Sumo wrestler weight? Because my wakeup call came while on business for 2 weeks in Japan in September 2006 when I took a picture next to 2 Sumo wrestlers, and I looked as big as them! At that time, I topped out at 5 feet, 11 inches at 268 pounds! Read more about me in the Blog Post labeled: My Sumo Weight Loss: There's Hope!
